p T 0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that OscAR L. HALPERN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of and Apparatus for Beading Cloth; and I do hereby 'declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for producing beaded cloth and consistsin the steps of procedure, and the combinations and elements of apparatus, hereinafter described and particularly set forth in theaccompanying claims.

rIhe invention has for its purpose to produce a beaded cloth which will have all the characteristics of the genuine beaded articles now known in the fine arts and wherein the cloth thus produced will serve for all of the -purposes for which the genuine article is intended, and wherein the cost of manufacture will be nominal.

The invention has for its-further purpose wherein- Figure l shows the first step in the process,

Figure-2, the second step thereof,

Figure 3, the third step,`

Figure it, the final step,

Figure 5, the finished article, and

Figure G shows one Way of applying the beading substance to the cloth.

Referring to the construction of apparatus in further detail and wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the different figures shown, 7 represents a sheet of bond paper or other suitable material having printed or otherwise shown thereon the design 8 which is tobe produced on the cloth or fabric 9, and said elements may be of any dimensions and the design to be made selected at will.

vA. sheet of bolting cloth l0 of silk or other material overlies the figure or design 8 on the sheet 7, and the mesh of the bolting cloth will-obviously be of a degree commensurate with the character of design formed on the cloth 9. A light adhesive serves Aas the binding medium between the design sheet 7 and bolting cloth 10 as this has been found from practice to be entirely satisfactory. It will beevident, however, that any other suitable means for holding the two sheets 7 and l0 together may be used; e. g., a binding strip securing the marginal edges of the two sheets or turning the marginal edges of sheet 7 over and against sheet 10, or vice versa.

In carrying out the process the bolting cloth 10 and paper 7 are perforated by a needle immediately over the lines of the design 8 and said perforations are preferably spaced at equal distances -which may be easily selected by reason of the well defined squares or coordinate effect of the bolting cloth.

The l:multiplicity of apertures thus made through the design on the pattern or design sheet are adapted to permit the paint P, or other beading substance, to percolate or pass through and deposit in the form of individual and separate drops or beads on the cloth as indicated in Figure 5. The beading substance is preferably spread over the bolting cloth 10 in the form of a relatively thin film or layer and by means of a spreader s is forced with slight pressure through the several openings and is thence affixed in the form of separate drops or beads as described.

The foregoing operation is suitable for carrying out the process where the beaded design is of a single color but where it is desired to produce the beaded eect in a number of colors the steps of procedure are substantiallyr as follows.

The design sheet 7 is perforated in selective sections 11 of a given color and said sheet is then transferred on to the pile fabric 9 whence the separate drops or beads are formed of this. onecolor as in the manner stated. A second sheet7, having the same design as the first sheet, is thence perforated at di'erent sections such as 12 andsaid second sheet is thenplaced in proper position on the fabric and the beading substance applied as in the former instance. A third sheet 7, having the identical design as the first and second sheets, is then perforated at st1ll other sections as Aat 13 for another color and this sheet is also placed over the fabric and the proper color of beading substance applied in the manner explained. Character several colors are of course se aratel erforatedl from the original deslgn with the aid of the bolting cloth l() as explained.

It will be obvious, o'f course, that different forms of construction may'be provided in lieu of that disclosed and described herein. And while I have shown and described certain apparatus for accomplishing the result initially stated it is to be understood that I am not limited to the precise details shown but may on the other'hand adopt such modifications or changes within the scope of the claims to better suit-the end in view.

Having thus described my said invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by United States Letters Patent is:

l. The method of producing multi-colored beaded cloth which consists in rst spreading a Hlm of one color of the beading substance yover and above the cloth surface, causing said beading substance to deposit on the cloth in individual and separate drops or beads, and repeating this operation at appreciable intervals with each colori` of the beading substance to be applied2 substantially as set forth.

2. The method of producing beaded cloth A which consists in spreading a paint over a surface above the cloth having'the design to be copied, and causing said substance to percolate through the designed outline, and deposit on the cloth in the form of individual and separate drops or beads, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
